Mazdaspeed Discontinuing Much of their FD Parts!
 

Hey guys,

Not that many people buy Mazdaspeed parts anyway, but just thought I'd give you guys a head's up that Mazdaspeed has been steadily discontinuing a bunch of the FD parts they've made for over a decade now. First, a few parts disappeared from their online catalog. Then the FD dropped down to the last car on their list of cars they make parts for. Now, they've dropped the MAJORITY of the parts they make from their online catalog. There are only a few parts left.

In short, if you've always wanted a Mazdaspeed part, but were waiting it out, now is prob. the best time to bite the bullet and get it, while it's still available...because it won't be for long.

And of course, I'd be more than happy to help anyone get whatever Mazdaspeed (or any other manufacturer's) parts they desire ;)

Thanks!

will mazdaspeed still be producing their clutch discs for their twin disc clutch? ....or will it be the same as exedy's since its stamped by exedy as well on that clutch?

whats the price for the short shifter?

By Mazdaspeed do you mean the racing support arm of Mazda i.e., Mazda Motorsports?

I buy most of my parts from them as they usually can do better than Ray (but you know Ray's THE BEST!!!) i HAVE 2 FDS AND 2 Miata's so $$$ are a major issue. I race my Miata so qualify for the Mazda Motorsports discount.

makes sense as mazdaspeed prob make a lot of money from new car buyers ticking boxes during purchase. FD hasnt been on sale for a while now.

Ramy,

what parts did they discontinue? What's left on the list.

I always like the way the Spec R or whatever it was called, hood.

It seems like MAZDAMOTORSPORTS has reduced their inventory of FD parts over the last year or so too. I guess it's to be expected for a car out of production for (at least) 5 years. :(

how much for the mazdaspeed front and rear swaybars

Just because it's stamped (ie made by) Exedy doesn't mean it's something you can buy directly from Exedy. Manufacturers often go to other manufacturers to make proprietary products for them. So 2) I'd image that once Mazdaspeed discontinues any one of their products, it'll be gone period.

No. Mazda Motorsports sells Mazda parts at wholesale prices to support it's racing community. Mazdaspeed makes performance parts for Mazdas that are covered by factory warranty. You know, like the Mazdaspeed version of the Mazda 6, Mazdaspeed version of the Miata, etc. Completely different (non-OEM parts), although they can often be purchased at dealerships, as they tend to sell Mazdaspeed parts as well (at a VERY high markup).

The R-spec hood has been discontinued for YEARS now. And if I do ever find one in Japan, I can tell you it'll prob go for $4,000 or so. It was $3,000 or so new as it is. They're IMPOSSIBLE find man.

Here's a list of what they still over (and some of the parts they've discontinued in parentheses, off of my memory):

GT Concept Parts:
- Exterior: GTC front bumper, rear wing, 99spec CF front lip, CF center section of rear wing (no hood, sideskirts, undertray, or diffuser, etc)
- Interior: Dash panel/center console cover panel, 300kph speedo & cluster (no seats)
- Performance: Exhaust, Coilovers (standard), springs, front strut bar, PPF, brake pads, clutch, flywheel & counterweight, diff, t-stat, plug wires, and high flow intake filter

R-Spec Parts:
- Exterior: Lens covers, sideview mirrors, and rear wing (single blade style) (no bumpers, skirts, hood, or diffuser)
- Interior: Meter panel (in middle of dash), CF door trim panel, CF rearview mirror cover (no blue 300kph cluster)
- Engine: IC, radiator, AST
- Performance: Bushings, brake calipers & pads (no rotors), strengthened steering shaft, titanium front strut bar, diff (no CF shifter and e-brake handle)

Below is a list of the parts no longer made, but that I can still get for sure (subject to availability):

- Wheels (MS-01 & MS-01S)
- Shocks
- Front & rear sway bars
- 99spec undertray (Mazdaspeed version) & rear diffuser
- GTC rear bumper add-ons/diffuser (around exhaust)
- Mazdaspeed rear wing (Racing Beat style)
- R-Spec rear bumper + diffuser (built-in)
- Dual Oil Cooler kit
- R-Spec Coilovers
- Steel braided lines
- Brake calipers & rotor
- CF dash trim (full)

As for pricing, I'm not here to sell parts in this thread; this was simply a friendly head's up to my fellow members that the parts won't be available much longer - especially the parts that are no longer on the catalog but I listed that I can still get. Those are only available based on stock, and no further will be produced.

Lastly, if there is enough interest, I don't mind running a GB on Mazdaspeed parts in general (ie anything Mazdaspeed). But that would belong in my vendor section, not here. So lets steer away from pricing & sales inquiries here.

Thanks,

how much is the carbon dash trim are they any pix thanks

dont want to wait on GB's. i also want the CF dash trim immediately. how much and what colors? thanks pls pm me

Guys, please read my posts. I don't type for fun. I will NOT be posting pricing on this thread; this is NOT a for-sale thread; it's a general head's up to members. I will not be repeating this again.

If you have individual orders you'd like priced/ordered immediately, please follow the same procedure I've outlined countless times before. Email me at Info@FDNewbieImports.com, and put "Mazdaspeed Order" in the subject line.

Thanks,
~Ramy

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

I've sent you an email. Those bastards are forcing my hand! lol

Anybody got a picture of the R-Spec Titanium strut bar?

And when you DO find it, you know it's MINE!!!:) I'm still upset over that last one that got taken right from under us! :wallbash:

Neo, emailed you. One of your parts may be gone already, despite it being available a few days ago when I first posted this thread :(

Hmm...that's gonna take some work. I used to have one...but I lost it. And the stock photo they use is pretty lame...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-...36/MSTiBar.jpg

Absolutely. But I'm sorry to tell you, I really don't think it was taken from under us. I fronted a LOT of cash for it, I'm sure no one else was willing to pay that much for it. If you ask me, I think the shop was LAZY, and ASSUMED they could get it despite me telling them MULTIPLE times that it was discontinued. But I HAD to try anyway, just in case they were right, right? ;)

Ramy just to let you know your PM inbox is full bro

Luckily I have an entire set of Mazdaspeed control arm, differential, trailing arm, anti-roll, and shock mount bushings sitting in my garage. I even have their steering shaft.

Glad I didn't wait to order them because I'm not sure when I'll get the time to install them all.

Thanks Ramy, if you do find one let me know, otherwise I think I will try to find similar oval Ti tubing and make my own custom strut bar...maybe a four point one similar to the Re-Amemiya four point bar.

He doesn't answer PMs. You have to email him.

I've always been curious about it. What's different about it?

NP. I'll see what I can come up with in the next few days. Oh and I've been considering making a LHD version of the RE Amemiya triangle strut bar, but wasn't sure there would be enough interest (and I'm sure you know high quality fab work ain't cheap).

~Ramy

Are you talking about this hood?

It has the same steering ratio as stock but has X% stiffer rubber - where X is some number that I cannot recall. It is one of those purchases that I am not sure I could fully justify, though good steering feel is nice.

Ramy,

Yep, got the email. Responded with a how and when.

Let me know...

Thanks again.

That's not it.

Well I love my FD, and I love how tight everything is without being so stiff that it's downright uncomfortable. So based on that, should I or should I not buy it?

I'll be installing it (and a crapload of Mazdaspeed bushings and new pillowballs) in a few months so I will let you know then.

That said, I got an IM from another board member who said he tried to install his and it would not fit. I sent him some measurements of mine to see if he has the right unit. I have never heard of an aftermarket rack for the FD so I am not sure how the measurements could be different than stock.

thats the only Mazdaspeed hood i know of. Anyone have pics of the other one there talking about?

I was planning to get the MazdaSpeed MS-01S rims next year. Would that be too long and then I can't find them?

Also, curious what the difference is between MS-01 & MS-01S . I always thought of them as MS-01S. Thanks.

thewird, don't worry about the wheels; I can readily find 'em used.

As for the diff wheels, here ya go: http://wheelspecs.com/WheelSearch.aspx?q=mazdaspeed

So its impossible to get them new now? Also looking at that link they look the same to me minus colors?

thewird

Some are available new now (a few).

Look closer. They're different. Spokes are different, lip is different, texture is different, color is different.

Would those new ones that are available now not be available say December-April?

Do you think the bronze would look nice on a blue? Haven't been able to find one except for this white one.

Being that they're no longer listed on their website (and are thus discontinued), I'd say no.

Absolutely. The Mazdaspeed GTC demo car is blue w/ bronze Mazdaspeed wheels IIRC, and I think it looks AMAZING. Search for pics of it; they're posted on the forum.

Absolutely! Better to play it safe! Just let me know if you run across another one, you know I'm game for it! :naughty:

Can you still get the mazdaspeed cf front lip for the 99 bumper?

You don't need to post AND txt msg me Gene! lol

FDNewbie, I sent you an e-mail about the Mazdaspeed rims. Look forward to hearing back from you.

thewird

I wanted to make sure you got the message lol ;)

That, my friend, is called harassment lol.

Hey Ramy, I still didn't get a reply about the Mazdaspeed wheels. I guess I just want to confirm you got the e-mail and will get to it eventually.

thewird

heres the one on my Series 7 RB Bathurst.

That's not the titanium strut bar; that's just the regular Mazdaspeed strut bar...

so ramy, i will be hitting you up very soon on a PPF, the steering shaft and white faced meter set... when is the last possible time frame i can jump in on this? reason being, i am still awaiting my rebuild from ihor/ rich and also moving into an apartment soon as well.

Davin, the meter isn't a problem; I have one in stock. The PPF I wouldn't worry about either, as even if I can't get one from Mazdaspeed, I can get one from RE Amemiya. The steering shaft is the only item I'm unsure of...

~Ramy

Just thought I'd let you guys know...as of right now (essentially the new year), Mazdaspeed has removed the FD from their parts catalog COMPLETELY. ALL FD-SPECIFIC MAZDASPEED PARTS ARE OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED. So guys, I'll say this ONCE, and ONLY once. Buy all the Mazdaspeed parts you've ever wanted RIGHT NOW, because they will NOT be "later" on these parts. Whatever's left in stock is in very low quantity, and indeed, the vast majority of parts are ALREADY longer available...

I will re-extend my offer to run a large GB on whatever Mazdaspeed parts you guys may like, but if this does happen, it will have to happen VERY quickly (within days).

~Ramy

Is there a parts catalogue? I didn't read through the whole thread. Who knows Ramy, there's probably something Mazdaspeed I want :D

Well now there isn't :( Earlier in the thread, however, I posted up about what parts were still available. That's something to go off of, as it wasn't too old of a post.

~Ramy

PS: Riz, c'mon man. How lazy can you get? It's a TWO-PAGE thread! :p:

...would it be possible to make a list with a discontinued parts and there price, if not here than on your website, Ramy...?

...would make decisions of buying a part much easier, if a picture and the price is listed next to them... :)

Earliest I could come even CLOSE to doing that would be the 2nd of Jan. And assume everything's expensive; it's Mazdaspeed. I'd only have regular prices available, and based on the size of the order, and that I'll be cleaning 'em out, I'm sure I can negotiate a good discount. So it'll be hard to say what kinda discount I can get up front, esp. when dealing w/ Mazdaspeed. They're stingy lol. So the discount would simply get kicked back to you guys (be it in shipping or discount on the cost, etc).
